These are limericks with a Qui-Gon theme, sent in by members and myself. If you feel like making your own limerick for Qui-Gon week after reading these, do so! Send your limerick to me as a private message and I'll add it to this post!

First up, we have a limerick from the noble Reepicheep.

Fun fact: Reepicheep lives in Canada as a spy. His home country of Russia is very proud of the information he has managed to obtain on maple syrup.

There once was a Jedi named Qui-gon
Although he was mostly called 'Don Juan'
He hit on a pretty Jedi Knight
But after a slap
He said, "Oh snap,
I won't have a date tonight."

Next comes Taral-DLOS.

Fun fact: Taral-DLOS claims to have killed a lion with his bear hands. Yes, he literally has the hands of a bear.

Qui-Gon's apprentice was Xanatos
Who went dark and gave the Code a Toss
Master must redeem who was lost
No matter the cost
Qui-Gon must have a case of the Thanatos

Finally, (for now - send me more!), here is a limerick from that aging trickster, Old Master Ben.

Fun fact: Old Master Ben is the best friend of the superhero Thor, and was present in the background of every scene in the new Thor movie.

The day came for Qui-Gon to die
After a duel with Maul he did lie
He told Kenobi to train
The young boy Anakin
Who knew he'd become the bad guy?

Edit:

A new one has come in from IllogicalRogue2.

Little known fact: IR2 is actually blind. He sees with the help of a large beaver and a useful lightsaber shaped walking stick.

There once was a Knight named Qui-gon
who went to Theed and died wrong
he fell down dead, to Obi-wan's dread.
But his Padawan did right wrong.

I don't know which is funnier, the limericks or the fun facts _________________
"I believe toys resonate with us as humans, we can hold them them, it's tactile, real! They are totems for our extended beliefs and imaginations. A fetish for ideas that hold as much interest and passion as old religious relics for some. We display them in our homes. They show who we are. They are signals for similar thinking people. A way we connect with each other...and I guess thats why I do toys. That connection." -Ashley Wood

Doubt not, Reepicheep,
To find all you seek,
There is the utter east.
